CHAPTER 2: INHUMANE

"Argh, what's going on" Jane said when she woke up and realized that she was in a dark room, she then tried to move her hands but she couldn't move them, she then realized that they were tied and when she tried to get up from where she was sitting she also couldn't get up, the place was so dark that she could barely see a thing, but then when she turned, she could see that there was someone else there as well who was also tied up to a chair.

"Rick, is that you?" she asked in a low tone,

"huh" Rick replied as it seemed he had not yet fully woken up yet,

"hey Rick, wake up" she said out loud,

Rick on hearing her suddenly woke up quickly due to shock, he then looked around him and then he also realized that they were in a dark room.

"What's going on?" he asked while he also tried to move his hands and stand up on his feet but then realized that he was tied up,

"finally, you're awake" Jane said,

"Jane, is that you?" he asked,

"yeah" she answered,

"what happened?" Rick asked,

"Uhm, I think that we were kidnapped because the last thing I remember before us being here was when I approached that man who stood on the most middle of the road earlier" she answered.

"Yeah, same here" Rick said as he then checked behind him trying to see how his hands were being tied,

"but where are we?" he then asked,

"I don't know nigga, weren't we taken together" Jane answered in a loud tone,

"fine fine keep it down, if we were really kidnapped then you don't want the kidnappers to hear us" Rick then said in a low tone.

While Rick and Jane were trying to untie themselves they suddenly stood still when they heard the door make a screechy sound, the room became brighter as the door gently Opened, the room was painted in black and same was the roof, a group of men also dressed in black with hoodies covering their head entered through the door while both Rick and Jane watched.

As the men came in they then moved to the side of the door and then another man came in right behind them, he had a black robe on which also had a hoodie covering his head, they could barely see his face.

When he came in he walked straight towards Rick and Jane's direction, they kept quiet and stayed still when they saw him approach, they were both trying to see if they could get a quick glance at his face.

"Richard Reyes, how are you doing?" the man asked whilst looking at Rick,

"How do you know my name?" Rick asked in shock after he heard the man call him by his full name,

"I this guessing names is one of my best gifts" the man answered sarcastically,

"what do you want from us?" Rick asked out loud, there was also a bit of fear in the tone which he used as he was almost stammering.

"I want nothing Rick, you see I might just be one of your closest friends in the world" the man said,

Rick then giggled a bit after hearing this as his fear all of a sudden seemed to have disappeared,

"I don't have any friends, so what makes you think you could be one of my friends" he replied,

"so who is the girl to you then, your girlfriend?" the man then asked,

"nope nothing like that, she was a friend of mine but that changed over a period of time too" Rick answered.

Jane on hearing Rick's response to the question turned around to look at him in shock but she couldn't see his face because their chairs were backing each other,

"how could you say that about me?" she then asked Rick,

"what, isn't it true, I mean when last did we even talk if not today?" Rick replied her with a question as well,

"but still, after everything we've been through together since we were kids you couldn't even call me a friend!" Jane said,

"I understand if it hurts you, but that's just what I honestly think" Rick replied.

"Okay okay, that's enough, it seems you two have a toxic relationship like that of couples, but since you insist you're not friends I would like to believe that I took the wrong approach here" the man said,

"yeah, looks like that" Rick replied,

"so what do you suggest we do with her?" he asked,

"am I the one whom you're asking or someone else?" Rick asked,

"yes" the man said,

"I don't know, let her go because it seems I'm the one want" Rick replied,

"Yeah you're right, this whole thing had to do with you so since you're not friends I'm guessing eating her won't be much of a problem" the man said.

"Hold on what do you mean by eat her?, what are you guys, cultists or what?" Rick asked in devastation,

"yeah what do you mean by eat me" Jane also asked in a scared tone,

"Hahahahaha, what do you mean cultists, were not that, but you were right when you asked what we are because we're not ordinary human beings and neither are you" the man replied, Rick and Jane both then checked themselves out when they heard they weren't human,

"I meant Rick alone" the man said when he realized that both of them were checking themselves out.

"What do you mean by I'm not human, off course I'm human" Rick said,

"you only think that because your powers are yet to reveal" the man said,

"what powers are you talking about, I'm pretty much a normal human being" Rick replied as he was in shock and he got more confused when he heard he had powers,

"you heard it right, you're no human you're a vampire-werewolf hybrid and you're meant to save the world" the man said, Rick and Jane were even more shocked on hearing this, Rick got even more confused.

"Wait hold on I don't understand, who are you in the first place to think you can just come here and tell me all this cooked up fantasy stories?" Rick asked.

With a heavy sigh the man then took off the hoodie covering his face immediately after Rick's question, when the hoodie was off he looked Rick and Jane who also looked at him back, his face looked like that of a normal human beings in the first place untill it slowly started to change as his eyes became red and then his mouth started to slowly open and when they were fully open his fangs were visible, it was at this point that both Rick and Jane's heart skipped a beat as they became scared after what they had just seen.
